Hockeytown U.S.A. How did I know I'd see a pic of Oshie when I clicked on that link?

Right. Maybe if the warranty were six months. Which at these prices it really should be.

Looks good.

Guess I was wrong. Top runner is Power Profile stock fitment to Ultrasonic. Bottom runner is standard off the shelf PulseTI. I just thought it was odd it had less toe material than the the Ultrasonic blade.

Not wearing them at the end of one of their levers. Probably have them on their body.

Bauer is just not a good company in so many ways. This logo is perfect for them.

That's how I feel about the 2S Pro's vs the 1X Lite. 2S Pro's are big and heavy.

Yes, it appears there is material removed from the front of the bottom blade. I think they've been profiled and never sharpened. Also, if you look close there is a Minnesota Wild logo engraved on the bottom skate. Not sure if that means it actually came from the team. Might just sell them cheap. But if I do that I'll just do it and not sharpen and skate on them. Also, I'm surprised that Bauer would sell Quad 0 runners as a "Power Profile" on a Supreme skate. Think it would have been a Quad 1 or something a bit "flatter".

So here's what's going on. Top blade is new as delivered in off the shelf Ultrasonics. So it says Power Profile. Is that a Quad 1? The bottom is a "new" blade I got from a "friend of a friend". This is the mystery blade. I was hoping that nothing had been done to it but look at the heel and toe. Is there any way to tell if this is even a ProSharp profile? Neither set has ever been sharpened.

I've come across this issue a few times. How can I tell which profile is on my runners? We have a local store that has been doing ProSharp profiles for a couple of years and is supposed to have trained technicians. I brought them a new blade and asked if it was stock or profiled and they told me they could match a blade but other than that they didn't weren't sure. Huh? I figured a shop with ProSharp equipment could tell me exactly which profile was applied.

My son is using Vapor APX2 elbow pads. They're pretty narrow, fit snug and he's tall and thin. I can't comment on anything newer.

Are they ever. And just went up in price too. Wow. No aftermarket, no bundle deals, nothing.

We're just going to Supreme 2S Pro's from Vapor 1X Lite's. The 2S Pro's are much wider, higher volume. I'm not sure if this would be true in all Supreme-Vapor comparisons. Also, they are just regular "plastic" where the 1X Lites are Curv Composite and mold into any width with very little heat.

??? I'm looking for Bauer skates to fit a standard width but a higher instep/arch. It's a tough fit. In 2S Pro, 8D now and it's a good fit just getting too small. Maybe keep looking for 2S Pro D width or Ultrasonic, Fit 2 and take 2X Pro/Hyperlite, Fit 2 off list? Need instep height but Fit 3 will be too wide.

So you like them?
